Rules for clown convention "competition" are, in some ways, really based more on what looks good for the historic "picture clown." But even excellent picture clowns from circuses didn't always look as ideal in everyday working environments.
The key is to look good in presentation to whatever your audience. Some things are common sense. Others are nuanced insights. Then there are things which are just far out and hyper. It's understandable that when there is some sort of contest, there have to be rules for adjudicating it fairly.
Now, that said, you could get a collar which would cover up the neck if you liked. That would take care of cover. In fact, if you were to get a collar in a contrasting color (maybe yellow) it could really bring out even more in your costuming, I think.
